A playday

Today was fun, even if it was freezing cold in my studio first thing this morning. I decided today would be a relaxing day, making something with an idea that's been swimming around in my head for a few weeks now.

I had some of those giant cotton reels left over from a previous project and although I have used them before in this way, I haven't used them with the chipboard shapes (Eclecta range - PaperArtsy) that match my stamps. I love things that are really versatile and try to use a product in as many different ways as I can so although none of my techniques used here are new, the addition of the half cotton reel, really changes things up.

Here's a few close ups for you.

I will take it with me to Ally Pally next week, so if you would like a close up look, I will be with Mark and Leandra on the PaperArtsy stand on Saturday only. The colours in real life are much better than these pics show, it was such a wet and dreary day today, photographs were never going to be fantastic.

It looks amazing, Lin - will be lovely to see it - and you of course!! - next Saturday! I have a shopping list... bet that surprised you... The flowers look fantastic - the blue-y one looks like a china plate, just beautiful.

Stunning project, wish I could see it in real life but will be talking daughter to Cardiff to start her Uni course - one day I will manage to get to Ali Pally and BSSS - was disappointed to see the Midland's version has been cancelled - hope this will be back next year.
